Evaluation of CE Angle of Wiberg for the functional outcome in various Hip Pathologies: A prospective study.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
CE Angle of Wiberg Hip joint is a ball and socket variety of synovial joint. The head of femur forms more than half a sphere, sphericity of head of femur is very important aspect in function and biomechanics of hip joint. Biomechanically, a round head act as a fulcrum. The factors influencing both the magnitude and the direction of the compressive forces acting on the femoral head are 1) The position of the center of gravity; 2) The abductor lever arm, which is a function of the neck-shaft angle; and 3) The magnitude of body weight. Shortening of the abductor lever arm through coxa valga or excessive femoral anteversion will result in increased abductor demand and therefore increased joint loading. If the lever arm is so shortened that the muscles are overpowered, then either a gluteus medius lurch (the center of gravity is brought laterally over the supporting hip) or a pelvic tilt (Trendelenberg gait) will occur. Aspheric head leads to weak abductor lever arm, and the sphericity has to be corrected or abductor lever arm is to be corrected, for deciding upon this we need to see the CE angle of Wiberg. The CE angle of Wiberg is an excellent method of studying the development of hip joint in radiograms.[1]It is simple and unlike other measurements, Bruckl et al (1972)[2] showed that only a few lines to be drawn on the radiogram.[1]
